HC Deb 15 July 1986 vol 101 cc448-9W
Mr. Hancock

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when his Department will expedite the payment to Captain Balnave of 23 Malvern Road, Southsea, Portsmouth, awarded to him on appeal.

Mr. Major

[pursuant to his reply, 9 July 1986, c. 171]: Captain Balnave's appeal was successful in establishing entitlement to a war pension for an additional disablement. A medical board is being arranged to advise on the assessment of the level of disability so that payment can be made at the appropriate rate as quickly as possible.
